V4L Macro-2-Micro Particle Imaging System

The V4L Macro-2-Micro is an advanced imaging system for the analysis and characterization of particles, including wear debris found in lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids.

The patented Macro-2-Micro imaging technology optimizes both lateral and axial resolution across various levels of magnification. This allows for sharp imaging of both large, macroscopic particles and very small, microscopic particles at the same magnification level.

The system combines a large depth of field with a wide field of view, enabling the precise visualization, counting, and size analysis of particles. Furthermore, it can capture high-resolution images for the detailed analysis of wear debris.

V4L technology was developed for applications in condition monitoring and maintenance analysis, where the presence and characteristics of wear debris provide critical information regarding the technical condition of machinery and equipment.

The system is designed in compliance with the ISO 4407 and SAE ARP598 standards. Technical Specifications
